Woo Hoo! Health Care!!!

Well, now we have Health Care. Obama signed the bill. So- this is totally GREAT, right? We NEED help, right? This bill will solve our problems, right? Well, Everyone is "hubbing" and giving various points, some in favor, some against. One lady, is for it, and says that this bill is going to save lives, and explains how many people actually have died because they needed health care but didn't have any. And it is totally true- there are millions of people in America who need health care desparately.

Then there are others who believe it will do more harm than good, and they list their reasons as well. Here is my take. I'd like to say that this bill will at least do SOME good, but unfortunately it will be very limited and here is why. First, the actual effects of the bill, I.E., you and your family actually having health care through this bill, will not actually take place for a few years, I read one article that said around 2014. That is a ways away yet, to not have any actual coverage through this plan. What will start immediately, will be the methods the government will use to generate revenue to pay for this program, the first worm in the can. The short version: Your income tax will be raised. Medical devices will be taxed. (pacemakers, wheelchairs, catheters, etc.) Companies will have to pay a new tax to help support the initiatives. Private Health Care providers will have to pay a tax to support the new bill as well, and their premiums will go up as well, quite a bit, making it impossible to continue business as usual and they will as a result, be forced to raised the costs of their services to the public. (Higher private health care coverage.) Hospitals will be forced rather quickly to not refuse people without health care. (They will be forced to absorb the costs of the poor, not to mention illegal aliens, who will be given amnesty and free health care through the system later.) Those without health care will be charged 3% of their income, for not having insurance. Their way of forcing those without insurance to get it, with a penalty, if we refuse. Also Medicare and Medicaid will support the program, or- the government will stop paying a very large percentage of their annual budgets, in order to avert those costs toward "Obama Care". I am sure I have not even hit all the ways the government will use to pay for this new program, but it will be costly.

Now, for the big picture. People seem to only see what is right in front of them. But if we take a huge step back for a moment, there is a bigger picture, the real problem, the problem hidden right in front of our eyes, and we are blinded to the problem because we are in a crisis, and we are focused on that crisis. Because of our focus being so narrowed, on a particular issue, though important, the effects of the sollution we are observing are not quite so visible. Up close, we see dying American health care, and the potential sollutions this new bill could offer. But we step back and some of us are seeing the problems as well. But the vast majority of us see no further. So let us step back fully- and see the real danger. Our dying economy.

That's right- the real danger this bill poses is the destruction of our monetary system. I would not have a problem with this if I thought there were a sollution mankind is willing at this point to accept in order to solve such a problem, but I do not think that will happen. Therefore, we need our current system to stay afloat. The Health Care Bill will cost our government $900 BILLION. And that is so bad. This administration has already spent $700 Billion on the bank bailouts. $400 Billion on the auto bailouts. And $700 Billion on the stimulous package, and now $900 Billion? That is TWO TRILLION, 700 BILLION DOLLARS that will be spent total, after this package has been paid for, and another 1.3 Trillion on the way for the rest of Obama's first term. (projections.) 3 Trillion. That does not include what Bush spent on Afghanistan and Iraq, which was in the hundreds of billions.

So you see, what is happening, is SPENDING! And more spending than any administration has ever even come close to before in history. But the money was all spent for things that have been needed, right? We know that the first $700 billion spent in Bush's last few months have helped fullfill their purpose to a good degree, yet there are tens of millions unaccounted for, perhaps a billion or two. I have heard different descriptions in that regard. Out of the auto bailouts, $400,000 spent on an extravegant vacation for a bank's executives was all over the news. And millions of other dollars are missing from there as well. The stimulous package? Of course there have already been thousands of bonuses handed out to top execs of numerous companies that have taken their undue share from the stimulous funds. But there are also millions missing that government employees are stashing away as well. Why all these "stimulous packages" that are not going to "stimulate" the economy, but rich people's greedy pockets instead? Why all the ridiculous spending? It is almost as if, somebody, wants the US economy to fail. And they are getting rich off of stupid governement spending sprees.

Conspiracy theory: Someone, someone very rich, is in control of everything behind the scenes, and these individuals manipulate everything to their advantage. They probably have very specific goals. These people want the economy to crash. If the US Dollar collapses and loses all it's value, the only sollution that would work with any speed would be a new, unified currency, and it is already in the works. It would be a currency shared by the US, Mexico, and Canada. (The American Union.) These people started with 9/11, to unify America to go to war against terrorism, to get into Iraq and spend hundreds of billions, then the banks and auto industries went under and needed help and people were researched, and manipulated into office because they would act a certain way, and foolishly spend money to solve bad situations. But their spending is not a sollution, it makes our problem that much worse. And behind the scenes these people in control, are finding ways to make massive profits off of the insane, record amounts of spending that have been going on the past couple of years. And now a $900 Billion dollar Health Care Bill. Great. The crash of the US economy is all but set in stone at this point. And if the spending continues, the whole process will just speed up. Before the Health Care bill even takes effect and begins providing coverage, our economy will be done. And the suffering will begin.

     Like I said, those in control have a plan, they have manipulated everything and they are getting filthy rich off of us.   So who really has the power in America?  Who controls our currency?  To whom is owed the most money?  For that matter, all the money in our economy, with the exception of the foolishly "printed" $700 Billion from the stim package, where did it all come from?  The US Government gives Federal treasury notes to the Federal Reserve in exchange for our currency, with a 10% interest attatched to it.  The Gov makes monthly payments to them, equaling tens of billions, a sort of payment plan.  The currency itself is merely "loaned" to our government.  But they owe 10% more than was ever loaned.  Therefore the government owes 10% more money, than is ever actually in the system, the US economy, that is.  our current total debt, including all we owe the Federal Reserve, is around 53 TRILLION dollars.  And with the hundreds of billions the current "administration" is just printing out of thin air, that number might as well be $200 Trillion, because the effect all of this will have on the US dollar's value, will be staggering.  You can't just print money out of thin air without consequences.  Ironically, that is pretty much all we have been doing anyway, ever since we allowed the Federal Reserve to regulate out monetary flow.  The real question is, what will Americans do when the horrors of this Health Care bill start taking effect?  How will America act?  I am terrified to be honest.  I have a horrible feeling that things will escilate out of control.  Probably it will start with protests.  Then law enforcement will continue doing what they have already been doing, abusing their positions through violence, treating protesters like criminals, beating them, and so on.  But Americans will only put up with so much, then the police will go too far, and the protests will turn into outright riots.  But this time, martial law will be declared, and many Americans will band together and we will have revolution.  But those truly in power will not even be touched.

     I know that this view is quite grim, bu don't you realize that our very freedoms are being trampled on already, and it is getting worse?  The Government FINING people without health care??  That is unconstitutional.  It is also unconstitutional for the police to force people to leave an area where they are in peaceful protest, not to mention forcing other people who are merely witnesses to the protests, and many times police even beat people in either group just to force them to leave.  People won't put up with that, or the govenment, forever.

The potential failure of our ecomonic system is not the only thing that the uproar over Health Care is masking. It also masking the lack of confidence citizens have that they will be represented (rather than ruled) by their representatives.

This just in, the figures stated were, ten million people did not have coverage so this wasn't about health care at all, it was about more power for our new style government. Now, where the bread line at?
